Although it seems to late to preserve all the evidence needed the precinct spot check that was done that showed the tabulator irregularities that ALL favored Walker still should be the basis for much more media attention

Even though it now will be impossible to prove what the state wide totals really were it should be possible for statistians to establish what the probabioity was for ALL errors to favor Walker in that one precinct. Reporting on the error induced percentage shift in that precinct should still be done also.

This is still a national story even if it can't now overturn the election results. Why were there different totals in a hand recount than in the tabulator recording? How wide was the error distortion between these two vote count methods compared to what the historical norm had always been in America between initial vote counts and recount totals for a typical precinct BEFORE hackable tabulators were introduced?

This is still a vote fraud poster child story. It illustrates a clear and present danger even though it may no longer be able to document a stolen election. Americans should not be allowed to be complacent about one sided patterns of errors like this in our current voting technoloby. Especially when exit polling predicted the hand recount vote tally but diverged from the "official" results.
